Non-Agreement raises and bonuses were approved by the Board yesterday (2/3/2022). Basically 3%-4% raises and bonuses at the same level they were 2 years ago. That's an improvement over last year when the bonus pool was smaller and we also got hit... — read more

If the company really want to save money then look no further, get rid of those useless managers , employees doing Manager's duty's already!

You know it's going to happen next.

It has nothing to do with layoffs, but I was interested in the post where someone wrote that North Platte NE is one of the worst places to work in the system. I have to agree. However, I wouldn’t know which is the best place (i.e., the least bad... — read more 

What are your thoughts?

Anyone seen the nurses furloughed ? Just wondering since a lot of health info done on the up network now.

Fwd: Fwd:2022 psr plan is 15% reduction in the whole workforce. Profit driven.

Yard crews job..... why do we even have freight car repairmen anyways.

Is it worth hiring on in these locations as a conductor? Anyone know if it’s busy and if there is anyone laid off right now?

A former superintendent informed me that the freight car repairmen will no longer be necessary and layoffs are coming,! Get ready and start looking at your options !

It is wonderful to see their power of unity. Imagine if the railroad unions showed the same unity and did a spontaneous sick out or walkout in protest of the cr-p work conditions, pay, poor treatment, and mandatory vax. Sadly it will never... — read more 

It will soon be a craft of the past. Replaced with utility workers who will do most of the yard duties.. Bnsf did it and the cost reduction is significant. Work more with less.

What are your thoughts?

I find this place great for venting, however, all these complaints will not change the situation at UP. This company has never cared for its employees and we should not expect it to suddenly start caring for us now. What I can change is the company I... — read more

Can someone please explain to me, because I really don't understand, how a company can value those who are lazy and do sloppy work more than people who are totally dedicated to their work and work to exhaustion every day? What's the catch?

Oh boy! I don’t know about you, but I could use the recognition of a decent contract the would make it worth coming to work for this shithole of a company! Trinkets are great and everything but I’ve thrown everything in my house that has Uprr on it... — read more 

Saw they’re needing crew callers at the Harriman. Good luck to the unlucky to transfer crafts or hired off the streets.

Nothing surprises me anymore in this company. Do you think the situation will get worse when it comes to cheating and stealing?

Did they have a derailment in the LA trench lately, the area of all the thefts and looting of trains ? Any known cause of it ?

I would love to go hang out at hotel parking lots during hiring sessions and gather up prospective applicants and let them know the truth of how bad it is and to run away from the interview.

In the 80's there were 40 RR bulls in my terminal. They worked O/T arrested people daily for stealing, vandalism, and removed alot of trespassers daily. Somewhere almost 10 years ago there was only 5 of em. Today I think there are only 3. Now they... — read more
